Our Verdict
Proceed with caution. While the vehicle
Given the mileage of 128,629, prioritise checking the service history for evidence of timing belt and water pump replacements, as these are critical for this engine. Request documentation to confirm if the oil leak noted in August 2022 and August 2023 was ever repaired or if it remains a persistent issue.
Negotiate the price based on the current state of the consumables. The September 2025 MOT record lists tyres and coil springs as advisories even after the pass, suggesting these components may still be nearing the end of their usable life. Ensure the registration plate lamps and windscreen washer system are fully operational.
The 1248cc diesel engine is designed for efficiency in urban environments, typically offering competitive fuel economy for a small commercial vehicle. Insurance costs are generally moderate for this model, though this varies based on the driver's profile and usage.
Maintenance costs for a vehicle of this age and mileage are likely to increase, particularly regarding suspension components and seals. Estimated annual running costs, including fuel, tax, insurance, and routine maintenance, are approximately £1,200-£1,600.
Carefully inspect the rear suspension, specifically the nearside and offside rear coil springs, which were flagged as corroded in the September 2025 MOT. Check the tread depth and edge wear on all four tyres, as both front tyres were noted as being close to the legal limit.
Perform a visual check of the engine bay and undercarriage for signs of oil seepage, referencing the advisories from 2022 and 2023. Additionally, verify that the registration plate lamps are functioning and the windscreen washer fluid is delivering an adequate spray, as these were specific points of failure in the most recent test.
This 2015 white Vauxhall Combo has recorded 128,629 miles. The MOT history shows a recent failure in September 2025 due to worn tyres, corroded rear coil springs, and lighting issues, though it passed later that day. There is also a pattern of 'not excessive' oil leaks noted in the 2022 and 2023 records.
Aggregate data is unavailable for this model, but the individual history shows typical wear-and-tear issues associated with high-mileage commercial use.
